From Parasite to PainandGlory, the five films nominated in the newly renamed Oscar category (formerly best foreign-language film) tell universal and explosive stories
also scored a best documentary nod, becoming the first title ever to double-dip in these categories. Do multiple nominations make this trio the logical frontrunners? Or will they spread the love too thin as voters choose their top picks in different categories, allowing room for an unexpected Polish or French victory?
In terms of themes and genres, the nominees might at first glance look like an almost random cross section of world cinema., about a near-destitute clan posing as valiant new employees of a stinking rich family, combines genre tropes in black comedy and suspense with social commentary., on the other hand, chronicles the tough life of Hatidze Muratova, said to be the last woman practicing wild honey hunting in the Balkans, in a stripped-down, vérité style.
Quite the opposite, visually and thematically, is Almodóvar's highly stylized approach, familiar from his extensive filmography, which he himself mines in this thinly veiled autobiographical film . Banderas' protagonist is a celebrated film director with a hairstyle, apartment and obsessions that keep reminding us of the master himself.
. This soberly told and powerful story explores the predicament of a troubled young man who pretends to be a priest in a small community that is trying to get over a fatal car crash. Whereas the protagonists ofmight seem interested simply in bettering their own station by profiting from the stupidity of the rich, the 20-year-old, saucer-eyed Polish protagonist here almost accidentally morphs into someone both he and the village seem to need for different reasons.
